If you're comfortable with opening your Kindle, a cheaper option than buying a new one would be to replace the battery.
From my experience though, it doesn't fully go to sleep when I use my sleep cover. I would have thought it was a sleep cover issue had I not notice that the battery also discharges a bit quicker than my Kobo ones when I press the sleep button and leave it uncovered.

I accidentally discharge my mobile until it goes empty a few times and there were no issues so I thought it won't affect the Kindle as well.

I am actually looking into just replacing the battery but unfortunately, the forwarders refuse to ship batteries only, probably related to safety concerns. I'm on a tight budget so a refurbished one looks like my only option.
